Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[belloq87]

My newly updated anticipation list of rides, shows & attractions......most to least:

1. MoM ride
2. Monsters dark ride
3. HTTYD show
4. Potter show
5. DK coaster
6. HTTYD coaster
7. Starfall Racers coaster
8. Mystery Hub spinner
9. Mario Kart
10. Yoshi's Adventure
11. Monsters coaster
12. Fountain show
13. HTTYD Sky Fly
14. HTTYD boat ride

Other stuff....I'm really excited for Toadstool Cafe and Potter's streets of Paris.

1. Monsters dark ride
2. MOM dark ride
3. Donkey Kong
4. Potter show
5. HTTYD show
6. Mario Kart
7. Yoshi's Adventure
8. Fountain (nighttime?) show
9. HTTYD coaster
10. Monsters coaster *
11. Mystery Hub spinner
12. HTTYD Splash Battle **
13. HTTYD Sky Fly **
14. Hub Coaster **

* If the Monsters coaster is extensively-themed and has a story that I think makes sense for the land and the IP, it could vault up a few spots.
** I don't anticipate ever riding these, so they're at the bottom by default, and the exact order doesn't really matter.

All attractions ranked for me (that we know of):

1. Super Nintendo World mini-games (I'll probably experience 4 this year in Hollywood, but we're going to be getting all the Japan exclusive mini-games (including the DK games) in Orlando. This includes the mini-games that aren't for keys)
2. Donkey Kong: Minecart Madness (this feels like a Revenge of the Mummy coaster but with more nostalgia for me)
3. Starfall Racers (Dueling airtime. Enough said)
4. Monsters Kuka Arm (love Forbidden Journey and this is just that ride on steroids)
5. Ministry of Magic SCOOP dark ride (the tech on display should be incredible. Hopefully it's more Spider-Man than Transformers)
6. Mario Kart: Bowsers Challenge (the only reason why this is so low is because I'll experience it in Hollywood first)
7. HTTYD Gerstlauer Sky-Fly (yes please)
8. Yoshi's Adventure (it's a great people-mover ride, but it's more good for viewing angles of the land than as an actual ride)
9. HTTYD coaster (this doesn't appear to do anything special in my opinion, and kinda feels like an odd pick)
10. Untrainable show (I'm assuming the HTTYD show will be the same version from Beijing, which I hear is pretty good. Just not a huge show guy)
11. Monsters coaster (it's way too short and feels completely unnecessary. It'll be an okay ride at most)
12. HTTYD splash battle (just not interested)

Unknown (we don't know enough): Potter show, hub fountain show, hub flat ride, HTTYD play area

1. watching tourists try and figure out how to get to Epic Universe

Anyone else see a dragon flying above Paris?

I thought the same thing from the artwork. That seems surprising with Diagon’s dragon being such an icon.

Makes me wish we had truly got a fantastic beasts film franchise instead of a fantastic side missions of dumbledores friend film franchise.

The first FB movie is decent, just got too ambitious with Grindelwald instead of wrapping the story up in one film. IMO they should’ve made one movie out of the in-universe books like Fantastic Beasts, Quidditch Through the Ages as a Mighty Ducks style sports movie, etc. Then they could experiment with different genres and settings that could potentially make their way into the parks without shoehorning themselves into this asinine Grindelwald storyline with the ever-changing actors. But I digress; apologies if my rant veered off the thread topic!

What are you referring to?

 

[Legacy]

What are you referring to?

Obviously, the flying dragon over Paris.

Check out Themeparx site.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Check out Themeparx site.

Wondering if that's the entrance to the show.

 

[Alicia]

Wondering if that's the entrance to the show.

The red circus tent is probably that.

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

Might as well name the park Universal's Reptile Universe with how many turtles and dragons there will be.

Sounds like a Slytherin place

Sounds like a Slytherin place

Along with the HTTYD Dragons, Koopas, and maybe a Gill Man, Smaug, and Charmander in the future.
